Karl Boyes
Is is just me... or does Boye's eyes get more and more watery as he gets more bothered by something... He looks like he might cry, seriously.

Karl to the table, nothing too difficult here. Basically just roll the cue-ball. He shots the 5 in the side, leaving a straight in shot on the 6 for Albin. Albin makes a brilliant shot and leaves Karl a good shot on the 7.
This is basically a stop-shot. The only thing he can do wrong is leave it straight in. This will work. He leaves Albin an angle on the straight-in 8-shoot in the corner pocket.
Whoa! that could have been a wee bit better, but Karl is not going to miss a 9-ball like this. He pockets it.
USA 2, Europe 1.

Okay, thanks. Might just be in the UK then (or just me!).
This tournament should be over by now, Europe has dogged it a bunch to keep USA in it. Good for TV.
Sky breaking from the left side of the table. Mike D. looks over his shoulder. Sky scratches whitey in the side pocket.
4, 5, and 9 are all jammed together, but they're makeable. This is going to take some sorting.

Albin looking at a 4-9 combo, but this can go wrong if he hits it bad. Karl and Albin whispering strategy secrets.
15 seconds. He makes a 4-6 combo, not the 9. Got the cueball past the 9 and the 5, leaving the 4 in the corner. Still a little work to do, though. Not going to be easy going from the 4 to the 5.
Uh-oh, He got a little funny. A stretch shot. Hard right-angle cut. He makes it and leaves the cue-ball down table. They're not done yet.
Karl has to go rail first on the 7, which is a table-length away. 7 ball is 4 inches from the pocket. Well done. Perfect shape on the 8 for Albin.
They are looking to tie this match up. Albin makes the 8, leaving a duck shot on the 9 for Karl.
Referee tells the crowd to settle down.
2 to 2.
